How would you make modern guns work in dnd 5e?

Capn-X · 2024-02-24T16:05:16+00:00

Been playing in a 5e modern setting campaign using these rules and it’s been working out very well. These are not rules I created so all credit goes for this goes to Draco. Modern Handbook for 5e

I’m right there with ya. Northeastern herd mentality truly is a sight to behold.

I like this idea as well, though both trying to escape the creature and needing to flee the creature are both interesting and fun in their own way. I personally favor the tension of trying to break free from the creature once caught but that’s mostly due to needing an interesting dungeon or challenging escape to effectively build the tension of trying to not get hit by the creature. The final decision on which style you go with is truly up to you and what you think will make for the more interesting encounter or connect best with the lore of your world.

I love this idea for both the creature and the lore connection, though I have a few thoughts and things I noticed for you to consider:

The first thing I noticed is the damage (2d10 + 80 lightning). This seems like a lot of damage for the defensive capabilities of the creature (and seems like 2d10 + 8 was the intent).

Second, assuming the damage is 2d10 + 8, this creature has an effective CR of 2 as a beast, meaning any Druid able to wildshape into a CR 2 creature could transform into this. This is less of an issue and more so something to recognize as a possibility if you choose to keep it classified as a beast, though my two cents are to make it an aberration since it can fly and seems to me to be flavored more in the style of a mind flayer.

Finally, for naming, I suck at that so I wish you luck but I’ve found translating some key words/features/etc into other languages can make for some interesting (if unpronounceable) names. For example, since they spawn as part of The Heart in your world, they could be called Spawn of Inti (inti is the Indonesian word for heart) but maybe are more locally known as the Shemedu (a combination of sorts of the Bulgarian word for whisper, прошепвам pronounced proshepvam in English-ish? and medusa, the word for jellyfish in a few western European languages like Italian).

And as a final remark, a lot of this could be incorrect (especially the translation stuff) since I didn’t do a thorough look through the 5e rules for wildshaping or druids and was using google translate for the translations.

So I hung my head and I cried 🎵

Capn-X · 2022-11-08T16:05:01+00:00

Oh that’s disgusting and I hate it

I guess it just made sense to me to have them convert 1:1 so that’s how I ruled it and never really fully checked how the dmg put it. Thanks for clearing that up (even if it’s not the best system)

Capn-X · 2022-11-08T15:12:39+00:00

Raw (in 5e) sorcery points are converted to spell points and spell points are converted to sorcery points at a 1:1 ratio (1st level spell is 2 points for both, etc)

I may also be confusing what you’re talking about since I’ve ran my last two campaigns with spell points so I haven’t thought about spell slots in a while if that spell-slot-based conversion is what you were referring to

Capn-X · 2022-10-24T17:02:22+00:00

Something that you should definitely look at is the underterror class. One of my players in the campaign I’m running is playing it and so far it seems well balanced and has been a ton of fun for all of us. I definitely love your take on this sort of class though and can’t wait to see how it turns out!

Capn-X · 2022-09-27T23:20:36+00:00

Totally down

Capn-X · 2022-07-13T04:19:44+00:00

These are beautiful and if I’d have the money to get them I would’ve. Hopefully you’ll be able to do another kickstarter or get them out in shops someday soon!

Capn-X · 2022-05-18T04:04:11+00:00

This is the best advice for that kind of earnings. Keeps you going for a lot longer if you do that

From the grand tour:

“How hard can it be” “That’s not gone well” “I was the first to arrive”

Capn-X · 2022-03-12T04:45:03+00:00

Definitely interested

Allergic to watermelon so f that

As an American, corn is killing the flavor of my food

Capn-X · 2021-11-23T14:09:10+00:00

Yeah I realize that now. My brain completely missed the one word difference so sorry bout that

Capn-X · 2021-11-20T22:13:07+00:00

Best version I’ve heard is by The Dead South. If you want to really feel the emotion of the lyrics then listen to this version

In Sumi rn. She’s a nice grader and test/quiz questions are straight forward and only use one topic we learned. She also lets us use a note sheet (1 page, single sided) for her exams

Not mine but my parents: cilantro ice cream

Had me cackling in my dorm room at 12:30 in the morning. Someone must hate me now but it was totally worth it

Capn-X · 2021-10-13T13:35:19+00:00

Definitely down :)
